Its size has been kept down by careful interactive ASSEMBLY programming and is now dis- tributed in a packed execute format. Read the documentation carefully to get a full understanding of all the features within. Copy FM.EXE to a directory that is in your DOS search path or just put FM.EXE in your DOS directory. No support files are required for FM and no special installation is necessary. The "F1" help function is built in. To run FM.EXE, type in "FM" at the DOS prompt. It will load the current directory of the current drive and display its listing in the right window. At sign-on, the left window will display either the share screen or the mouse control menu. The highlighted select bar will be on the first directory entry. Pressing the "Enter" key when the highlight select bar is on an entry labled with "<DIR>" will load that directory into one of the available directory listing windows. Active window selection may be accomplished using the left and right arrow keys, or mouse movement. To get the disk directory tree window available, enter Ctrl-T or select Ctrl-T function from the menus. For any set country other than USA, FM.EXE will use the DD-MM-YY date format. ************************************* * FILE MANAGER FM.EXE Ver 5.0 * ************************************* ■ Available Windows ■ There are five control windows selectable by the left and right arrow keys or mouse movement. The currently active window is indicated by a wide border. The mouse controls change, dependent on which window is active. * File Window 1 * Lists file data of primary directory. * File Window 2 * Lists file data of secondary directory. If either file window is active, all menu controls are available from keyboard. Mouse controls as follows : * Left mouse button = view current file * Right mouse button = exit to menu select * Both mouse buttons = mark / unmark files * Mouse movement In all windows * * Up/Down = move up/down directory list * Left/Right = change active window if available * Tree Window * Lists drive tree, highlighting current dir yellow. When active, entering Ctrl-driveletter loads new drive tree. The functions on red highlighted entry are as follows : * "Enter" or left mouse PB = load the highlighted directory * "F2" or right mouse PB = copy current or marked files to this dir * "Alt-F2" = copy/backup highlighted dir and sub-dirs * "F3" = remove highlighted directory if empty * "F4" or both buttons = move marked files to this directory * Total Window * Lists disk tree directory storage & file totals. "Enter" or left mouse button loads highlighted directory. "F3" key or both mouse buttons allow deletion of empty dirs * Menu Window * For keyboard guide and mouse control functions. When active, the mouse menu is highlighted. * FILE MANAGER FM.EXE Ver 5.0 CONTROL SUMMARY * * Ctrl-A Thru Ctrl-H * Select disk and load current directory or tree * Alt-C * Run built in base conversion

Drives A thru H are available from the keyboard, or drives A thru F using the mouse menu. Drives A thru K are available from the secondary menu system. * Alt-C * Pop-up a programmer's calculator with decimal, hex, octal,& binary base conversion, bit shifting, and logical operator functions. It has a 32-Bit number representation and supports two decimal place integer arith- metic calculations. Screen location may be changed using the arrow keys. Position is retained until the program is unloaded or moved again. Mixed- base calculations and the conventional +, -, *, and / functions are sup- ported. Beware, though, of only integer mode calculations. Your fractions disappear, except in fixed two place decimal. * CALC.EXE * Functions * * Arrows * Re-locatable pop-up screen position using arrow keys. * F1 * Pressing F1 successively cycles through the different base conversions of the number on the entry line. * F2 * This key toggles fixed two place decimal on and off. * F3 * Performs logical AND on current and next number entered. * F4 * Performs logical OR on current and next number entered. * F5 * Performs logical XOR on current and next number entered. * F6 * Performs logical NOT(invert) on the current entry. * F7 * Performs BIT SHIFT LEFT on current entry. * F8 * Performs BIT SHIFT RIGHT on current entry. * F9 * Changes the SIGN of current entry. * F10 * Clears the entry line. * Shift-F10* Clears the calculator. * Alt-D * Pop-up an internal calendar display. The screen position may be changed and is retained for next call-up. Popcal will always display the systems current month on call-up, which may be changed as follows : Program Functions: Left arrow .. = back one month Right arrow . = forward one month Down arrow .. = back one year Up arrow .... = forWard one year Ctrl/Rt arrow = get current month Ctrl/Pg down. = move to bottom line Page up ..... = move up one line Page down ... = move down one line Home ........ = left one column End ......... = move right one col Ctrl/home ... = move to far left Ctrl/End .... = move to far right Ctrl/Pg up .. = move to top line Esc ......... = exit calendar ************************************* * FILE MANAGER FM.EXE Ver 5.0 * ************************************* * FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS * * Name Ext Size Date Inv Off * Entering the letter N, E, S, or D sorts the active directory in the selected mode, name, extent, size, date. Entering The letter I inverts sort mode, and O turns sort off. Mouse menu selection using the left button is the same. The previous two sort types will be retained and performed upon loading a new directory, until the "O" option is executed. * Up, PgUp, Home, ^PgUp * Use keyboard control keys or left mouse button to * Dwn, PgDn, End, ^PgDn * move highlight pointer to desired directory entry. * ^T-ree ^X-chg d^O-sc ^P-rog * * ^T * Load drive directory tree of active dir window. * ^X * Exchange primary & secondary dir windows. * ^O,Alt-O,^P,Alt-P * All these functions will accept a command string consisting of one or more commands, separated by a comma ",". These commands will be handed to DOS one at a time. The command string may be up to sixty-four characters long. The last fifteen strings entered during the current session of FM, will be saved for recall, using the up/down arrow keys. Also available for these functions are assignable command strings which are assigned to the function keys F1 thru F10. These may be recalled by pressing the function keys. * ^O * Enter DOS commands for execution. Any command that can be run from the DOS command line may be executed here. This may be handy for using file pack routines or for putting the current directory listing into a file to be called in by the editor, etc. *Alt-O* UnLoad FM and execute a DOS command. If you need more free memory for your commands, use this function. FM will reduce its size to less than 2K bytes before execution. ************************************* * FILE MANAGER FM.EXE Ver 5.0 * ************************************* * FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS * * Ctrl-P * Pass marked files to a command function. This is useful for performing an operation on marked files only. If used in conjunction with EDIT.EXE Ver 4.2 or later it becomes very powerful. You can enter "EDIT /F", and all marked files will be handed to the text search function of the editor, one at a time. The editor will prompt for a text string entry and search options at the first file load and search for the entered string, then enter the edit mode if text is found. You may then edit the file, or simply exit, and the next marked file is loaded and searched. You can use the editor's "Alt-K S" function to save a block of text, which can then be pulled into the next file, where the search string is found, using the "Alt-K G" function. Selecting the search, find and replace option, with command option "EDIT /A", will cause the editor to prompt for both character strings and search options at first file load. Enter a number on the search options line large enough to cover all expected occurrences of the search string in a single file. Entering a "N" on the options line following the number will find and replace all occurrences of a text string in all marked files, stopping only to report number of replace- ments in each file. Without the "N", it stops at each occurrence and asks if you want it replaced. After execution of this command, a Ctrl-X may be entered at any entry stop to terminate and return to FM. The text files should be line orientated, or EDIT.EXE will insert Cr, Lf, characters at 256 byte intervals. * Alt-P * Unload FM and hand marked files to a command. Use "Alt-P" in- stead of "Ctrl-P" to free more memory for those commands that may re- quire all of your available memory. * +- Mrk/UnMrk ^M-ask Off/On * Use the + and - keys or left mouse button to mark or unmark the highlighted entry. Enter or select "Ctrl-M" to set a new listing mask for the active directory window. Enter "M", or select off/on to toggle the current mask off or on. *«─┘View/Load ^V-iew Type * Press the "Enter" key or left mouse button to list the highlighted file. In list mode, use screen control keys to browse through the file, or mouse left button to page forward. The normal file list mode is ascii text. Hex listing mode may be toggled on/off using "Ctrl-V" keys previous to selecting view file. If the highlight is on a directory entry, that directory is loaded into the active window. When highlight is on the ".." entry, the parent direc- tory is loaded. * Alt-V * The view function has limits on the size of a file that can be displayed. This limit depends on file structure and list type. For those large files beyond the limit, using the "Alt-V" function, allows you to enter a mega-byte offset to begin view file. ************************************* * FILE MANAGER FM.EXE Ver 5.0 * ************************************* * FILE PACK AND UNPACK FUNCTIONS * * Ctrl-F5 Pack Files * Selecting this function will pack the highlighted file or all marked files. You are prompted for a destination path for the new files to be created in. This path may contain a drive identifier such as A:, a directory entry such as \mydir\, and a filename using wild card characters "?" and "*". You can pull down the current active directory with the up arrow key or the inactive directory with the down arrow key. A valid entry may be "A:\mydir\*.pak". This will direct the new files to drive A and directory \mydir will be created if it doesn't exist. The new file names will be the same as the source but with an extent of ".PAK". If the filename exists it will be over written. If you don't enter a name in the path all new names will be the same as the source names. This pack function has three pack types involved. ".EXE" or ".COM" type files will have code added to allow execution after being packed. There are Some .EXE type files that will not run properly from this packed mode. These may include windows applications, functions with overlays involved, and functions that load into high memory. These types must be unpacked before execution. Other files are just packed to reduce size. They also must be unpacked before use. * Alt-F5 UnPack Files * Select this function to unpack files that were packed using the Ctrl-F5 function. * Shift-F5 Pack Files Permanent * ( Available Only On Registered Version ) Packing files using this function will create executable packed files that cannot be unpacked. Non executable files are packed as normal. * Ctrl-F6 Pack Files * ( All F6 Pack Functions On Registered Version Only ) * Alt-F6 Unpack Files * * Shift-F6 Pack Files Permanent * These functions duplicate the F5 pack functions, with one main difference. If the first instruction of an executable file is a jump code, the data up to the jump location is left unpacked. This allows for leaving data that can be changed in the packed executable file. I use this method for user customization data to be stored in the executable file. ************************************* * FILE MANAGER FM.EXE Ver 5.0 * ************************************* * FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS * * F1 Hlp Scrn ^F9 Set Date * Press the "F1" Key to select FM's help display. Then press any key or move mouse to page through the help screens to the desired topic. Select or enter "Ctrl-F9" to set marked files to the current system date. * F2 Copy /Backup /Restore * Press "F2" key or left mouse button for these functions. If no entries are marked the copy & backup functions are applied to the highlighted entry only. If tree is active, files go to highlighted directory, otherwise you must then enter a destination path (i.e. d:\dir). This path will be checked for an existing file and date of that file. FM will not copy over a file with equal or greater date than the source file. You can rename files using the wild card characters "*" and "?" on copy or move functions. At path entry, the down arrow key, or both mouse buttons will bring down the inactive directory path, if one is loaded. If a file won't fit on the destination disk, you will be prompted to insert another. Upon copy and restore completion the destination directory is loaded and displayed in the inactive directory window. For backup, enter the destination drive, with the /B option, (i.e. d:/b).
